No dense scholarly apparatus. Just the words, made readable.The Gospels: The Gospel of Thomas (114 sayings of Jesus, some older than the New Testament), Philip, Truth, Mary Magdalene as teacher and visionary, Judas recast as the only disciple who understood, and the Secret Book of James.The Dialogues: Dialogue of the Savior, Sophia of Jesus Christ, and the Book of Thomas the Contender.The Cosmologies: The Secret Book of John (the Gnostic Genesis), Reality of the Rulers, On the Origin of the World, Exegesis on the Soul, and Eugnostos the Blessed.The Visions: Apocalypse of Adam, Apocalypse of Peter (Peter watches the crucifixion while the living Jesus stands beside him, laughing), Second Treatise of the Great Seth, Paraphrase of Shem, Trimorphic Protennoia, and Allogenes.Poetry and Liturgy: Thunder, Perfect Mind ("I am the whore and the holy one"), The Hymn of the Pearl, and The Three Steles of Seth.Letters and Fragments: Treatise on the Resurrection, Letter of Peter to Philip, Gospel of the Egyptians, and the Gospel of the Savior.Three Essays: "The Gnostic Jesus," "The Discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library," and "Gnosticism and the Early Church."Every text is complete, in modern prose, with chapter divisions and section headers.
